Misinformed Misunderstandings
January 3, 2008Why can’t we all just get along?
A now familiar cry from an infamous character from the American landscape – Rodney King!
I have been thinking about this within the church context, and even within relationships in general. Is it perhaps because rather than talking to one another, we spend more time guessing what someone else thinks, or worse yet playing the “he said, she said” game.
I wish they were more numerous, but there have been a few times when someone thought they knew what I was thinking, and instead of stewing about it, they came directly to me. The hurt that was thought to have been there was typically not there, and relationships healed. There have been times I have needed to go to someone and ask their thoughts directly, and you know what the funny thing is? Most people appreciate that!
Why can’t we all just get along? Maybe if we would stop assuming what someone else said or thought, we could get along a little easier!
Just some thoughts I vomitted up…sorry for the mini-rant!
*thinking* “Hmm, I wonder what Skubalon means by this post… he must be mad at me or something. I think I’ll ignore him until he apologizes.”
Good points, and so true. Most conflicts are nothing more than misunderstandings.
I am sooooo lost here.
Although I will say I was thinking the other day what happened to the vomit guy.
How confusing. My blog reader said that Skubalon had a new post and sent me here, which was actually Cyclical Vomit. Now he all confused, and so am I.
Talk about misunderstandings.
Ignore my last comment. And Skubalon’s. And this one.
Dang! And I thought you guys were actually posting comments on my blog!
Check out my blog, give me pointers, it’s harder than I thought….sweetupanddown@wordpress.com
